Chapter 7 Intense Danger
After immobilizing Han Li, Mo Juren ordered Tie Nu to gather the sundries on the table together, and carried the unconscious Han Li from the bright residence to the dark stone house.
This was originally the place that Mo Juren built specifically for Han Li to practice martial arts. Now all the doors and windows have been closed, and it has become extremely dark.
Under the dim candlelight, one could see that a formation pattern had already been drawn on the ground with animal bone powder, and there were several sparkling gems placed at the intersection of the lines.
The gem was searched out from Yu Zitong's body. It was also called a spirit stone, which was commonly used by cultivators. When embedded in an array, it could provide spiritual energy to maintain its operation.
Han Li, whose soul was stunned, was only wearing an outer robe and was placed in a sitting position in the center of the formation, facing Mo Juren.
"The last step."
Mo Juren tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and said to himself again,
"Yu Zitong, I just want to remind you one last time. If something happens to me, you won't be any better off!"
Mo Juren, who was desperate, was still making a final attempt in his words, hoping that he would not play tricks.
Yu Zitong's ghost urged anxiously,
"Brother Mo, don't hesitate any longer! Although you have gained a certain amount of magic power in a short period of time by using the Seven Ghosts Soul Devouring Technique, this is after all obtained at the cost of your essence and soul power. Can the essence in your body still allow you to use this spell again next time? Instead of hesitating and wandering here, it is better to make a decision early."
When Mo Juren heard this, his eyes flashed, his heart trembled a little, and he began to think about something.
Yu Zitong continued to persuade Mo Juren,
"Think about it. You were originally just a mortal without spiritual roots, and you had no access to the path of cultivating immortals. But it will be different after you successfully possess someone else's body. This is a kid with spiritual roots. When you occupy his body, you can find a family that cultivates immortals to join. From then on, you can hope to become an immortal and live forever. If you don't want to put in the hard work of cultivating every day, at the very least you can get rid of your current situation and enjoy wealth and glory in the future. Immortal cultivators live much longer than ordinary mortals."
Mo Juren seemed to be finally convinced after Yu Zitong's hard and soft tactics.
"Hahahaha, I appreciate your good words." He replied happily, "Don't worry, I, Mo Juren, am a man of my word. As long as I succeed, I will immediately help you find a body with spiritual roots. I won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you very much, Brother Mo. After we are both reborn, you will be Big Brother Mo and I will be Little Brother Yu. I will not keep anything to myself and will teach you all the cultivation techniques one by one. Together, we will explore the world of immortal cultivation!"
"Okay, okay. But before that, I have to trouble you, little brother Yu, for one thing..."
"What's the matter? Brother Mo, just give me your orders."
"Haha, then I'll trouble you, little brother Yu - you just stay in this body!"
"What!" Yu Zitong was shocked, not knowing what Mo Juren was going to come up with.
Suddenly, an extremely huge black curtain enveloped Mo Juren's entire brain, covering Yu Zitong's ghost tightly.
"Hey, what do you want to do! Mo Juren, why are you crazy? Why did you close your consciousness? Let me out! Let me out... let me out..."
It turned out that Mo Juren had a sudden idea and used acupressure on several vital points on his body.
At this time, except for a little clarity in his mind, his five senses were almost completely closed, and the ghost of Yu Zitong attached to his body was temporarily trapped.
Now Mo Juren's consciousness is like a dark maze, and Yu Zitong's ghost is like a blind man groping for the way, and can only slowly find the exit. Yu Zitong is a lowly cultivator, usually arrogant, and is the least likely to accept that a mortal like Mo Juren can one day be on an equal footing with him and practice side by side.
So when Yu Zitong boasted to him about their plans to cultivate the immortal world together, Mo Juren made up his mind that it would be better to strike first and trip him up first, rather than being schemed against by him in the future.
According to their original plan, Mo Juren would first take over Han Li's body, and Yu Zitong would temporarily occupy the original body, put it in a coffin and seal it up, waiting for the second possession.
But now Mo Juren took the lead in breaking this plan.
Although the tactic of sealing the vital points was only a temporary delaying tactic and it was not expected to really trap Yu Zitong, but during the time he had been waiting for Yu Zitong to break out, Mo Juren felt that he might have already succeeded in taking over Yu Zitong's body.
When he has real magic power, won't he be able to control Yu Zitong's tiny ghost at will?
As for the method of possession, Mo Juren thought he was very clear about it. Without Yu Zitong giving him advice in his mind, he could have peace and quiet.
Mo Juren no longer hesitated. He made a spell in his hand and then swung his hand, emitting a red light which hit the key position of the formation accurately according to his memory.
As the four spirit stones in the formation were activated and awakened one by one, they emitted continuous energy, and the entire formation suddenly lit up with a faint fluorescent light.
Under the protection of the power of the formation, Mo Juren followed the secret method, stripped off his consciousness, and poured it into the Baihui point on the top of his head, continuously increasing his strength until, with a "pop" sound, a ball of light burst out of his forehead.
Consciousness successfully broke free from the constraints of the physical body!
This unremarkable small ball of light is Mo Juren's soul. It is only the size of two fingers and flickers with a faint ochre light.
The soul after leaving the body is actually a kind of ghost. It will only appear in ordinary mortals when the body dies. The soul will dissipate in the world in two or three moments after being blown by the dark wind of heaven and earth.
That's why he had used wild beast bone powder to set up a peculiar "soul-soothing formation" under the guidance of Yu Zitong. Within the range of this formation, the soul that has left the body can be temporarily protected from dissipating.
However, his soul was still too weak. The longer he stayed in the air, the more he felt the cold entering his body, just like a naked person walking in the snow.
Mo Juren's soul seemed to feel the chill, and he shivered twice in the void, then he moved hurriedly.
After circling around his own body twice reluctantly like a bird, he went straight to Han Li, ready to rush into his brain and take over his body as planned.
However, as soon as he approached Han Li's face, Mo Juren's spirit was immediately shocked and his soul trembled!
Although Han Li in front of him did not move, his body revealed a strong sense of danger.
It was like a deep gate opened in front of you, but it seemed as if an extremely powerful beast was imprisoned inside!
That huge and deep aura was staring at him in the dark, as if waiting for him to fall into its trap...
